Tickle Me Plant Giveaway

There are days that you can tell that spring is truely in the air. Those of us who love to garden have it in our bones to start planting. We can help those that are younger by allowing a fun time while planting and the tickle me plant can do just that. I know that when we received our tickle me plant my son had lots of fun planting the seed and waiting to see what would happen.

Please read the original review of the tickle me plant here. Let me refresh your minds of what I found and what I loved about the tickle me plant

The tickle me plant can be grown inside the house year round this is great for when we can not get outside to have fun we will have a bit of outside inside

The mission statement of the Tickle Me Plant is that they want every child (and those young at heart) to have a positive experience growing plants. I can remember raising plants with my father and now you have the same opportunity to raise the tickle me plant with a youngster that you love.

a set of science projects to do with the tickle me plant. Great for homeschooling as well as those who just want to have fun

Larry wants to give one of Annie's home readers an opportunity to win a tickle me plant.

There is a plant doctor (on site) to help with questions and information...inspires me, as a teacher of elem. students, to choose a plant doctor each week to look up questions we have in the classroom...hopefully to inspire some students!!

"How long does it take for the leaves to open and branches to lift back up after I tickle the plant?" The plant can open its leaves and lift up its branches in less than 15 minutes. It depends upon the time of day, as the closer to sunset the longer it takes the leaves to open. This may be due to the fact that the plant will close all its leaves to "sleep" at night. Colder temperatures and air conditioning tend to make the TickleMe Plant move more slowly when tickled. Cold temperatures also can delay the reopening of leaves and lifting back up of branches.

Oh what a wonderful learning experience this would make for the kids! And me, quite honestly. I'm not the greenest thumb :D
